My first ever bb was the black pearl when it first came out. After the white pearls came out I had to have one so I got that one about a year after getting my first. On October 22 I got a Curve....Im borrowing it but I love it like its my own! lol

I will never llingly go back to a regular phone....my pearl died on me a few weeks ago and I had no choice but to use and old Samsung Trace (?)....it was torture not being able to send and receive emails and browse the internet....mostly I missed BBM. I am self-proclaimed addict.

I got my Curve in January 2008 from a friend. He told me to try it and I refused. I didn't want to pay for BlackBerry service and was perfectly happy with my Nokia N73. He kept bugging me and on April 1st (April Fool's) I finally took it out of the box for the first time after four months.

I thought it would take some time to learn the OS etc. But it took me 2 hours to learn almost everything. I got a basic email plan and I was hooked. I was hooked bad.

I don't know why I didn't do it sooner.

I kept the Curve for 4 months, when the Bold got released, I was in line getting one. My cell plan has doubled in cost because of the data, but there is no way I can ever go back to a regular cell phone.

Currently, I use my trusty 7290 -- I'm into PIM and phone use. If you're into messaging, writing, being organized, keeping and tracking information, typing with a QWERTY, there is nothing in this universe stronger than a 7290 BlackBerry

.
I could not agree more. My 7290 had the best keys & keyboard ever. Nothing comes even close to the typing comfort & speed of a 7290.

I started with a 7520 and now have an 8830. I'm thinking of the blackberry storm next but I sure love my 8830 and there's nothing wrong with it. Kinda hard to upgrade that way.

Your right, but for me I have to have the latest out. Especially when the new BB (4.6/4.7) are well should be much better then the ones already out. My point is, I can't have anything old when the new one is out.

This is my first year with Blackberrys, Last year i was getting a new Att contract with my dad at bestbuy in chicago. Everything was already set up, so it was time for a phone. Of course im very picky about the style and form of the phone. So first i wanted the palm, dont know with one was it, but my dad said no. than i saw the pearl (8100) and i was like to my dad "im not leaving this store untill i get this phone" so after like 10-20 min talking with my mom and dad, they finally agreed and i got my bran new black pearl. When the guy gave me his to try it, i scrolled the track ball only up and down haha and than he showed me that it can be scrolled to the left and right (i felt dumb). When i got home i googled the pearl and found bunch of things for it. Than somehow i found pinstack. Since than i owned a curve (8310) (after like 7-8 months with the pearl) had the 8800 for a day, 8320 for a week and now i have the 8220 and bold. My next one prolly gonna be the Storm (GSM version), Javelin or magnum.
